Talk about complete concept rejection.
Skydance, Fox and Paramount's Terminator: Dark Fate reboot — hoping to revive the franchise after three failed attempts — bombed in its domestic box office debut with $29 million from 4,086 theaters, well behind expectations.
Not even the return of James Cameron in the producer's chair and original series stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger could spark interest among many fans and the general moviegoing public.
Nor is the movie likely to be rescued by the foreign box office, where it finished Sunday with a foreign tally of $94.6 million, including a lackluster China debut of $28 million, and global total of $123.6 million.
A direct sequel to Cameron's Terminator: Judgment Day (1991), the R-rated Dark Fate is directed by Deadpool helmer Tim Miller and cost a hefty $185 million to produce before marketing. Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna and Diego Boneta also star.

Feminist dribble from a Hollywood leftist hack
The LGBT-1000 is terminated.
“In North America, Joker placed second all the way in its fifth weekend with $13.9 million for a domestic tally of $299.6 million. Overseas, it has earned $634.4 million.”
I can see why Hollywood is starting to ignore American tastes in movies.
I didn’t think it would do great, but these numbers stink.
Yeah, the franchise is done....unless until someone tries to reboot it.
For waht the tickets cost and the cost of concessions, why would anyone even go to a theatre??? After a year or so, you can see the movie on TV...
Gee, must not have been woke enough.
Maybe Arnold should run for governor
This is a big part of it. Theaters are finding it increasingly harder to compete with streaming services and 75" 4K home theater systems that can be purchased by most Americans for less than a half month's wages.
This movie should've went straight to Netflix.
Don’t mock this movie on Twitter and Facebook, or you’ll probably be banned for life.
The Terminator at the Convalescent Home.
Who knew Skynet would be killed off, not by John Conner, but by lesbians.
as soon as i saw the commercials for it i thought ‘swell- that series is done for’- Way to go hollywood- take an awesome movie concept and ruin it with idiotic feminist crap-
Is that anything like sticking a fork into a toaster?
The sad part is James Cameron is responsible for two of the most genuinely badass female action heroes of all time; Alien 2's Ellen Ripley and Terminator 2's Sarah Connor. He did this when being "woke" wasn't a requirement and the end result with these characters felt exciting and genuine to moviegoers. These days, "wokeness" is a check in the box and viewers can see right through it. It comes out as pandering and condescending.
He can bang another Mexican illegal alien maid
Is it a PC-lesbo-feminazi-MarySue crock? I’ve always liked the Terminator movies. Did they succumb to the get woke/go broke succubus?
Woke = psychotic.
I’ll quote Arnie “consider that a divorce!”
